To place your personal home page on your computer system, you must first create your page in an html format. Once you have created your page, you will need to FTP (File Transfer Protocol) it to your home directory on our server at the address ftp.en-tel.net with the username you were given for your e-mail (do not include the @en-tel.net) plus your e-mail password.  Your home directory is: export/home/(your user name)/public_html. You will have to make the directory called public_html. Once you FTP your home page(s) named index.htm, and any graphics to our server, you should be able to see your home page at our address, http://en-tel.net/~(your user name). If you have named your home page index.htm your page should come up.

Hints:

1. Name your main home page index.html. Our server is a Unix system and can use longer file names. However, when you create your page on your system, you will need to use a file name your system can handle. Once you FTP your file(s) to our system to your directory/export/home/(your user name)/public_html, you may then rename them as needed. Be careful when you rename a file, if you reference a page and have a hyperlink to that page, by renaming the file the link may be broken.
   
    
2. File names are case sensitive so any hypertext link to other files must be in the same case.
   
    
3. Your page could be accessed by anyone in the world who has Internet access. Important: only put on your page what you want people to know about you. You should consider very seriously what might happen if you put your phone number, snail mail, or e-mail address on the Internet. There are people or organizations who will try to take advantage of any bit of information they can.
   
    
4. Please read our Acceptable Use Policy <http://www.en-tel.net/acceptableuse.htm>. If your page should contain information we determine to be inappropriate, your page will be pulled and you will be notified.

If you have any questions about how to FTP your file(s), you may e-mail our Help Desk at helpdesk@en-tel.com.
